Check for the version of the gd package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2004:132 (gd). Integer overflows were reported in the GD Graphics Library (libgd) 2.0.28, and possibly other versions. These overflows permit remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via PNG image files with large image rows values that lead to a heap-based buffer overflow in the gdImageCreateFromPngCtx() function. The updated packages have been patched to prevent these issues.
